Avocado Pasta Salad

Cold pasta salad for summer. It contains my favourites - cherry tomatoes and creamy avocados. The best part of this recipe is the avocado dressing, full of flavour and silky smooth. This can be served as a starter or main dish and can be prepared ahead of time so good for weekend parties. Here is recipe for you all to try.
